Language Immersion
The Wall Street Journal on DialoguE LanguageS 4
These are excerpts from an article by reporter Brandon Mitchener on intensive and full-immersion foreign language training. The article appeared in the Wall Street Journal Europe Edition, Friday-Saturday, June 27-28, 1997.
DialoguE LanguageS is a Bargain
The key to Mr. Ecklund’s satisfaction, in his view, was the one-on-one philosophy of the school, DIALOGUE, which offers indi-vidualized courses ranging from 20 hours of instruction a week to a more extensive 40 hours a week.
Mr. Ecklund is convinced that the school, which is run out of the home of the teachers and includes full board and round-the-clock attention, is a bargain. "If you go to group classes, you might save money, but you’ll probably spend the same amount over time because it’ll take you much longer," he says.
